Rally at the Raleigh with Victoria's Secret
By Fred Gonzalez
With DJ Irie spinning beats and the Raleigh Hotel pool filled to the brim with bikini-clad women and young guys following their every move, Brody Jenner looked into the camera and asked the question of the day.
"Spring Break. Victoria's Secret. Miami. Could it get any better than that?''
Jenner and Vanessa Minnillo were the king and queen of Wednesday's Rally at the Raleigh sponsored by Victoria's Secret PINK. The reality TV star and the MTV personality hosted the afternoon pool party, picking teams to participate in diving, Twister and dodgeball. Joining them were a pair of VS models, Behati Prinsloo and Miranda Kerr (Twister winner and Orlando Bloom's latest squeeze). Also helping them fill up the VIP cabanas were guys and dolls from the Ford modeling agency.
Jenner, a star on MTV's The Hills (and son of Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner), said he's in the process of getting ready for the fourth season. "There's going to be a lot of drama and a lot of excitement, hopefully more comedy, and it will be fun.''
Jenner, who dated Kristin Cavallari, Nicole Richie and castmate Lauren Conrad, has been linked to model Cora Skinner. Of her he would only say: "I keep my relationships to myself. I try to, at least. Truth is that I do have a significant other.''
Minnillo's relationship with pop singer Nick Lachey is well documented, and returning to the Raleigh brought back memories of the first time she met Jessica Simpson's ex at the hotel.
"About five years ago, in another lifetime, I was here for the VMAs, and I was upstairs hanging out with the Black Eyed Peas, and my boyfriend now (wasn't then), Nick, walks in and my mother starts flirting with him. 'I wanna dance with you.' And of course at the time he was like, 'Thanks, but I am sorry, I am married.' And my mom was like, 'So? So am I.' I was embarrassed and mortified. I grabbed her and we left.
"Cut to now, and I told Nick I was going to the Raleigh, and he said, 'Oh, where your mom hit on me?' I guess he didn't forget. Leave it to mom to embarrass her daughter. Whatever. Years later we are happily ever after.''
